  Hi all

  Is it possible using PowerCLI 4.1 to capture all ESXi settings and information connection iSCSI and Windows machine?

  I heard that it is possible using vMA 4 but I was wondering if it is possible now using PowerCLI.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

• How to extract dllhost PID by using powershell, call CMD

  We have 10 applications windows .net that are hosted on windows server 2008.

  All of these applications are in a single default container in an Application Pool.

  Now we have a scenario where we deploy applications only 2 out of 10

  Stop the application pool and deploy only for these two applications, causing one problem for others 8 applications also are not deployment.

  We tried to get the PID of partitions, COM + so we can kill the PID of this particular dllhost and making our deployed application but could not achieve to get it via a command prompt or powershell

  So is there a solution to kill a dllhost.exe of a particular application hosted on windows server 2008 default containing under the application pool?

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

• How to download the file on the Esxi Server using c# and SCP data store

  Hi I want to connect to 6.0 Esxi hypervisor and download a file.

  I write code to connect with esxi:

    using (var scp = new ScpClient("10.8.58.26", 22, "root", "MyPasword"))

  {

  scp.Connect();

  }

  But I'm getting exception "no suitable authentication method proven to complete authentication.". SSH on the hypervisor is now and manually I can connect using PuTTY or winscp.

  I tried with linux and it works. Is it possible to perform this action? How should I authenticate properly to esxi?

  Thanks for the replays, but I understand it on my own. I use winscp library instead of the scp. Code looks like this:

  SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions

  {

  Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,

  Hostname = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

  UserName = "root."

  Password = "MyPasword"

  SshHostKeyFingerprint = "ssh - rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

  };

  ' Private Sub WinScp (SessionOptions sessionOptions, string Cheminaccesfichiersource, string Cheminaccesfichierdestination)

  {

  using (session = Session()) new

  {

  Connect

  session. Open (sessionOptions);

  Download files

  TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();

  transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary;

  TransferOperationResult transferResult;

  transferResult = session. PutFiles (transferOptions, Cheminaccesfichiersource, Cheminaccesfichierdestination, true);

  Throw on any error

  transferResult.Check ();

  }

  }

  SshHostKeyFingerprint can be found in "Customize the Logs to view system"-> "Show Support information" of ESXi.

• Extract metadata check constraint using the JDBC driver

  Hello
  
  How to extract metadata check constraint using the JDBC driver?
  
  I know that by using the package dbms_metadata is possible, but the results of the get_ddl function are limited by the permissions of the user account, log on to oracle customer. So, how others pure Java implemented customer oracle can get the metadata of check constraints by using the same user account used to run the dbms_metadata.get_ddl function when this function cannot obtain metadata restrictions for approval when throwing an exception saying that the cheque does not exist?
  
  For example, in Aqua Data Studio and further implemented in pure Java metadata check constraints are extracted and showed in the Table Properties, but when I use the same user account in a java program using JDBC to execute dbms_metadata.get_ddl, an exception is throwed with a message that the constraint does not exist.
  
  So I guess that these pure-Java Oracle customers use Oracle JDBC driver to extract the metadata of check constraint (ddl or the status of the audit). If anyone knows how to use the Oracle JDBC driver to do this, please help me!

• How to return your hypervisor IPv6 address using powershell?

  Hello

  I'm trying to use powershell to return the IPv6 address of my host esx 5.5 Update 2.  I used powercli 6.0, but when I try to run either:

  
  

  Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | Select VMhost, Name, IP

  
  

  or

  
  

  Get-VMhost | Get-View | Select Name, @{N = 'IP address'; E = {($_.Config.Network.Vnic |?)} {$_. Device - eq "vmk0"}). Spec.Ip.IpAddress}}

  they all return two empty fields for the IP address.  PowerShell is not able to return to the IPv6 address?

  Thanks in advance.

• Import of groups of ports in vDS using powershell and

  I have a VCenter 5.5 with a 5.5 vDS. I'm trying to import several groups of ports in the vDS using powershell. The script is below. I'm under problems in trying to put the "Teaming and Failover" option to 'Route based on a physical load' by default 'Route based on originating virtual port' for the Group of individual ports, I know that I can do from the client, but I would like if possible do it with a script. Someone point me in the right direction? Port groups to import very well with all the correct settings, that I put, but I can't seem to find how to set the load balancing policy.

  to connect-viserver 'myvcenter '.

  $vds = Get VDSwitch -name "my Switch VD"

  Import-Csv c:\temp\vdsportgroup.csv | % {New-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $vds -Name $_. Name -VlanId $_. {VlanId -NumPorts $_.ports}

  
  
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  Edit: Scratch that I wrote earlier, it was with the older VDS cmdlets. This should work:

  Get-VDPortgroup MyVdPg | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Game-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy - LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceLoadBased

  You can simply direct the Group of newly created port directly object to cmdlets like this:

  Import-Csv c:\temp\vdsportgroup.csv | % {New-VDPortgroup - VDSwitch $vds - name $_.} Name - VlanId $_. VlanId - NumPorts $_.ports | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Game-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy - LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceLoadBased}

• decrease the RAM on vsphere 5.5 clients using powershell

  Hello
  
  

  I have client vsphere with 4 GB ram deployed and the wish to reduce this amount to 1 GB, they are held in w8.1

  can I do this using the powershell cli software and the script?

  I can do what everyone turned off, then decreasing RAM within the interface of vsphere and then power it back on, but I need a better and faster way

  and if we can do this using powershell is a ready to use script, I can use or change?

  Thank you

  Hello

  With PowerCLI you can use cmdlets Set - VM with something MemoryGB parameter like below:

  Get - VM VM1. Set-VM - MemoryGB 2

  or

  Get - VM $VMName | Set-VM - MemoryGB $memorysize - confirm: $false

  If you want to feed off the coast of the first virtual machine, you can do

  Get - VM $VMName | Stop-VM - confirm RunAsync: $false

  #or

  Get - VM $VMName | Stop-VMGuest-confirm: $false

  #set memory in GB

  Get - VM $VMName | Set-VM - MemoryGB $memorysize - confirm: $false

  #then light

  Get - VM $VMName | Start-VM - confirm RunAsync: $false

• How to use powershell to create data warehouses Fibre Channel

• I have a question about the ESXi upgrade using Update Manager...

  This is probably a stupid question, but I've never played and update ESXi using Update Manager.  We need to update ESXi ESXi 4.1 4.1 servers before vCenter 5.0 U1 from U2 (there is a known issue where the ESXi 4.1 servers receive the GROUP after upgrading vCenter to 5.0 U1).  We used HP ESXi image to install ESXi on our servers for new installations.  This image contains ESXi.1 U2 as well as the drivers of HP and CIM.

  4.1_U2_Oct_2011_ESXi_HD - USB-SDImgeInstlr_Z7550 - 00241.iso

  Can this same image HP ESXi 4.1 U2 that we used to install to new ESXi servers, be used to upgrade our 4.1 4.1 U2 ESXi servers using the Update Manager?  Or, upgrade package should be used for the upgrade?  Also, if an upgrade package must be used, is it OK to use one provided by VMware, or will be losing our HP specific drivers and CIM to do this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can import custom HP ESXi 4.1 U2 ISO in Update Manager (don't forget to use the latest version of June 2012, available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM06) and update the hosts with her.

  In a second step, you can then import the last custom HP ESXi ISO 5.0 (available here: https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPVM09) and update the hosts again with her.

  To be on the current ESXi 5.0 patch level you finally apply the latest patches from VMware via the Update Manager.

• Is API available in Acrobat for extracting text from images using c#

  Is API available in Acrobat for extracting text from images using c#

  Thank you for your response. Acrobat is not appropriate for this task, because it is technically suitable or licensed for the server.

  Adobe have a PDF library which allows extraction of text for C/C++, but it does not OCR. There are OCR of the LiveCycle PDF Generator Server product, but I don't think that does OCR on a PDF file.

  Sorry not to have better news.

• Manage an ESXi host using vCenter Server?

  I understand it is possible and requires of the specific licenses for ESXi hosts, even if I find information on the VMWare site a bit confused as to what I need exactly. We have-

  1 License Server Standard 4 x vCenter

  4 x vSphere Enterprise license 4 (who manage our ESX 4 hosts this site)

  3 (and soon 4) remote sites that have the same server ESXi

  I would like to be able to manage ESXi host using vCenter as well, is this possible with what we have? If this isn't the case, can someone direct me as to what it takes?

  Thank you

  You need the standard by CPU socket for each host license to add to vCenter.

  You can always create a separate environment and get the Essentials Bundle (up to 3 guests max) for $500:

  http://store.VMware.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=displayPage&env=base&locale=en_US&siteid=VMware&ID=ProductDetailsPage&ProductID=126843700&RESID=psfyPAoBAlkAACQ2y-kAAAAX&rests=1277824287882

  So you should have 2 vCenter servers.
